LONDON:,,THURSDAY, The arrival of the Bombay mail brings us intern.. gence of the Viceroy's return to Calcutta, after hie grand detour in the North-West. His journey has been remarkably successful, the great Durbar hav ing been attended by an unprecedented number of chiefs, many of whom had previously held aloof from any such assemblies. It is no slight matter that the wild chieftaina of the hills should be brought to acknowledge the supremacy of England; and the sight of the Durbar must have convinced them of the extent of our power and resources. Sir JOHN LAWRENCE showed his usual good sense in surrounding himself with all the pomp and circum stance of State on that occasion ; he knew how such display would influence the native mind ; and, however uncongenial to his natural disposition, he felt it was only befitting his rank as representative of Queen VICTORIA, and his power as Governor of her vast Indian possessions. So on his return journey he acted on the same principle. While in motion he travelled with all the rapidity of modern civilisation, but when he halted he surrounded him self with the magnificence of Eastern royalty. At Benares he paused to invest one of the native princes with the Star of India, expressing at the same time his sense of the Itqjah's consistent loyalty. This is a wise measure, end proves to the natives that Englishmen are no longer anxious to keep them aloof. The Viceroy has now reached Calcutta, and met his Council, who will have some work to do in repairing the damage inflicted by the late cyclone. We are glad to find that the Government of Bengal has already taken steps to avoid the recurrence of so terrible a catastrophe as then occurred among the shipping. A committee is to be appointed to inquire into the state of the moorings in the port of Calcutta; and it is be. lieved that the screw pile system of mooring ships will be introduced. It is very certain that a thorough change is necessary in the arrangements of a port which is at the best of times liable to be visited by hurricanes and cyclones of a violent na ture,if less overwhelming than the last. It is notice able that the greater part of the vessels that broke away did not break from their moorings, but cars ried their moorings with them, a sure sign that a change is needed. We learn from Brigmariah that a violent storm has visited the Coromandel coast, destroying all the telegraphs, including the span across the Kistua, and converting Masulipatoun into a ruin by an inundation. The rumour is that thousands of lives have been lost, but it is to be hoped, as the accounts are very vague, that they have been greatly exaggerated. It is evident, however, that the storms on both sides of the adian coast have Leen of exceptional severity, and the weather of an unusual character. Sir H. ROSE has started for Nepaul, where he expects to sound the native feeling with respect to the Bhooteas and their conduct. The British Indian force which is now en route for Bhootan is to be divided into four columns, which propose to cut off all communication between Bhootan Proper and the outer world. The country is extremely barren and rocky, altogether dependent on the out lying provinces for the necessaries of life, so that it is expected when they are thus besieged in their hilly fortress, the arrogance of the Bhooteas will speedily diminish. Ia other quarters of India, however, there are sounds of war and commotion with which we have happily nothing to do. The chiefs and khans of Western Affghanistan have been so incensed by the treatment which UFZUL or AFZUL KHAN has received at the hands of his brother, the Ameer, that they have called upon the latter to release UFZUL and to recall AZRIN, who has fled the country, and to restore to them their share of the paternal property, threatening, that if the Ameer refused compliance, they would invade Cabul. Wheth©r the Ameer will heed this warn• ing remains to be seen. If he relents it will be from mere motives of policy, since he has proved that he has not forgiven his brothers their assault upon his throne. The news from Cabul, also, brings us intelligence of the battle which took place between the Russians and the Kokanees at Huzrut, Sooltan. There was a severe fight, but the Russians were victorious and took possession of the fort, a fact which is direfully important as showing the in sidious encroachments of that Power in Asia. England had need to keep a close watch over her possessions, since Russian emir• series and Rassian agents are quite capable of fostering another mutiny, and would not scruple to alienate the people from their British rulers, by painting in glowing colours the blessings of the paternal government of the CZAR. We are glad to see that railway and telegraph lines are being busily pushed forward, since such means of communication are invaluable in times of danger and uncertainty, and the more active correspon dence is kept up between the different parts of the Empire, the more correct and enlarged will be the views taken at the seat of Government and trans mitted to this country. Ignorance and indifference have been the root of half our troubles in India ; they have impeded the progress of Christianity and civilisation, and have placed unnecessary obstacles of opinion and feeling between us and the natives. It is but very lately that Englishmen have awoke to a sense of their responsibilities towards the densely-populated Empire over which they rule, while even now they are more than half insensible to its immense commercial value to them were its capacities properly developed. Unfortunately, the system pursued at our India•offic• disgusts able and energetic men with the public service, and throws part of the responsible posts into the hands of idle and indifferent men, or men of mere routine. A man of intellect and spirit resents the treatment which he too often meets with, and murmurs loud and deep are now resounding through more than one branch of the Anglo Indian service, both civil and military. This is not the way to ensure our supremacy or to fulfil our duties. Every inducement should be held out to those best fitted by capacity and character to benefit the country to retain their posts. There are already enough bin. drances in the way in the exile and the danger to health—a danger whioh we are grieved to see is now depriving us of two valuable public servants, Sir HERBERT EDWARDES and Sir C. TREVELYAN. We may hope, with the advance of knowledge, and the enforcementof sanitary laws, that Anglo-Indian life may lose some of its risks; bat at any rate it is undesirable in the best of climates to disgust men with their profession if we want the work well done. Under these circumstances Sir C. WOOD had better look to his laurels; for we trust, when Par. 'lament meets, he will have to bear a sharp scrutiny on some points of his recent administration of Indian affairs. The speech of M. TON KAISERFELD in the lower Chamber of the Reichsrath is doubly welcome, both as being of intrinsic merit, and as being also most applicable to the exigencies of the case before him. It is a welcome and refreshing sight to see a man so decided in his tone and spirited in his style in a place and under circumstances which might well have conduced to far different utterances, or at least to silence. Nothing is more praiseworthy than to exhibit a bold demeanour iu the face of tyranny and oppression, and the address before us breathes the very spirit of defiance to the encroachments that are daily gaining ground among the Austrians, and gradually but surely subverting the better prin ciples that are promised to revive and restore the constitution. Indeed, the discourse reads more like a speech in the House of Commons, and reminds us of the strong and spirited harangues of the French Deputies rather than those of the solid Germans. Every sentence we meet with rings out with a clear sound that speaks straight to the convictions, and carries the thoughts al ways to the desired end, When we find in a representative assembly the following impressive statements, we must admit that, if Austria be doomed to fall irrevocably in the rank of nations, it will not be because she has no true hearted sons to tell her of her danger, and point out the way to a better course than that which she has now taken. " The Constitution is vague, contra• dictory, faulty, and consequently requires revi sion." This is exactly what lookers on have been declaring for some time past, but it is a new and notable sight for a citizin of the Empire to bear witness to this fact, and hence we hail the out break of national feeling as a forerunner of other things of a similar description; and, at all events, a fit and proper address for the occasion. Very telling was the taunt in which M. KAISERFIELD told the House that the manner in which the supplies were treated tallied with the Prussian mode of proctdure, but was not in keeping with their Constitution. A more striking protest against the misrule and mismanagement that have crept into the departments of the State in Ause tria has seldom been heard, and at this particular juncture it is very appropriate, and it is to be hoped will prove very effective, Certainly some stirring up is wanted, when we consider the tame and spiritless way in which the Cabinet of Vienna is yielding to the demand of that of Berlin, a glaring instance of which has just appeared in the manner that the occupation of Schleswig-Hol stein has been settled. M. VON KAISERFIELD'S address spoke to the assembly as the trumpet blast that summons to death or victory. His zeal was infused into his auditors, for all throughout the course of his harangue we find repeated bursts of applause, evidently proofs of the success of his efforts. After deploring the inactivity of the Go. vernment, he declared it to be " the cause of the apathy of the people, an apathy the more dangerous because Austria will cease to exist when she ceases to be a Constitutional State." This drew down loud applause from all parts of the House. M. TON SCIIMERLING could not have felt very compli■ mented at the remarks which the determined and outspoken Styrian deputy u made about him, but he will be wise if he takes them to heart, and shapes his conduet more in uniformity with the require ments of a free Constitution, and in accordance with the spirit of a State that has promised to be an example to other nations instead of a failure and a reproach. 'What is affirmed in this luminous discourse is so evident that it seems only strange that some glimmer of its sense should not have reached the minds of the Executive Government and of the representatives before this. M. VON SCHMERLING was plainly told that he was suffer ing from political " marasmus." This, though a true statement, must have been an unwelcome piece of intelligence to the statesman who thinks so much of his management of public affairs. Without having any recourse to taunts, M. KAISERFIELD contented himself with say ing, sterner realities which are indeed always doubly effective if people would only think and act so instead of dealing in threatened tones and fierce invectives that mar instead of making an elLct. Three years passed in intriguing is assuredly not the manner in which to attain any settled purpose or satisfactory result, and then the energetic speaker here declared that "great questions cannot be brought to an issue by petty measures." It is a great point gained that we should meet with so bold an exponent of truth and justice in the Aus trian Reichsrath. An Opposition is not responsible for the mistakes of a Minister, but it is bound to protest against the error of his ways, and to give timely warning of the sad consequences which will infallibly ensue if a remedial ageney be not at work. Nobly and faithfully has Mr. KAISERFIELD discharged this duty, and it is to be earnestly trusted that his example will embolden others to follow in his track, and to copy his good efforts in the cause of freedom. They may do this with the more readiness and energy because no time is to be lost if they desire to prevent their country from sinking into a state like that of Prussia, which, during the last two reigns has been changed so completely from what was once proposed to be its position as a free and independent State Not often does such dire necessity exist for plain speak. ing as unfortunately now occurs in Austria, but it is satisfactory to find a man who will put things in their proper light, and call events by their true names, even though the terms may not coincide with the wishes of unworthy Sovereigns or un faithful Ministers. ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SCCIETY.- , -The interna tional show of fruit, vegetables, roots, and gourde, was opened yesterday at the Horticultural-gardens, Ken sington.

AMBULANCE COMMITTEE.—The Savannah Re• publican says :—" A great number of our sick and disabled men, just exchanged, will arrive hero to-day (the 12th of November), and we hope to see every carriage in the city at the wharf. A hundred of the men have died since they were embarked. To receive them a large detail has come here from that famous benevolent association, the Richmond Ambulance Committee, who have borne so con spicuous and useful a part in the rear of General Lee's army from the beginning of the war. They have been with the army in every battle of importance, and are among the first to be notified by General Lee whenever an engagement is looked for. They are truly good Samaritans—men of wealth and high position at home, and most of them beyond the age for military service. The good they have done in the field is incalculable, and in the prosecution of their work their own private fortunes have been largely devoted to the cause. They have every appurtenance necessary in their humane vocation, such as hospital supplies, sugar, tea, coffee, &c., with utensils for preparing everything on a large scale. They know all about sick and wounded men, how to handle them, and what they require for their comfort, and they are now among us to co-operate with our surgeons and citizens in receiving and disposing of the large body of our sick and wounded about to be committed to our hands by the enemy. We commend them to the cordial hospitalities of our people. Independently of their noble vocation, they will be found gentlemen of the highest intelligence and re finement." SUSPECTED 11.1JE.DER OF A WOMAN AT COLD• STREAM.—On Monday morning the dead body of a woman, named Thomson, wife of Alexander Thomson, china merchant, was discovered in the house occupied by het husband and herself at Coldstream. The deceased was severely cut about the head, the limbs, and other parts of her person exhibiting a number of bruises. The body was found lying on the floor in front of the bed, which, as well as the floor and other parts of the room, was sa turated with blood, and gavo evidence of a violent struggle having taken place. The woman had been dead for some hours, Thomson, her husband, gave the first intimation of his wife's death, stating that during the night they had quarrelled, and that she had seized the poker and he the tongs, and they had fought together with these weapons. lie was found to be slightly cut on the head. The police secured the poker and tongs, both covered with blood ; they also found a strong cord tied round one ct de ceased's legs, from which it is supposed that the poor wo►nan had escaped from her husband's fury underneath the bed, and that Thomson had used it to draw her forth, which idea is strengthened by the fact that a quantity of blood l a y on the fiver wrier the bed,--,Scotsman., rHE SUN, LONDOW, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1864. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. [REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] ITALY. TURIN, DEC. 8. In yesterday's sitting of the Senate, Signor Gallini said the Convention ought to be accepted, notwithstanding its origin.

"The stay of the Court at Compiegne," says the Sport, "is now drawing to a close. The weather has been fine during the last week, and out of door sports have been pursued with great spirit. A shooting party assembled again in the forest of Laigue, when about 1,200 head of game were brought down by eleven guns. A hunt also took place, followed by the curse by torchlight. The meet was at the Puits-du-poi; and the Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince Imperial were piesent in chars-a-bane. Private theatricals have also been given by the ' comedians extraor dinary of the Emperor,' as a portion of the guests under the direction of the Princess de Metternich style themselves. An interlude of Ombres Chinoises is also said to have been a remarkable success, the effects produced by electric light having been marvellous. Among the scenes represented were " The Sleeping Beauty," in which the part of the Princess was filled by the Countess Pourtales, and that of Prince Charming by the Duke de Mouchy. The funeral servi ce for the late Mr Dayton was celebrated yesterday at the American church, Rue de Berry, the building and approaches being thronged. The Emperor was represented by Baron de Lejus, Master of the Ceremonies; the Duke del Cambaceres, and Count de Baciocchi ; and Prince Napoleon by General de Franconniere ; M. Drouyn de Lhuys, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Lord Cowley, and the other members of the diplomatic body, were all in attendance with the principal members of their legations. The coffin was placed on the communion table and covered with the United States' flag, which in its turn was partlyconcealed by wreaths and flowers placed there by the friends of the deceased. All the principal citizens of the United States now in Paris were present, as well as a number of Americans of the South. Near Mr Dayton, sun of the deceased diploe matist, were to be seen Mr Pennington, Secretary of Legation; Mr Bigelow, American Consul; Mr Ass pinwall, of New York ; and a great number of poli tical and literary men of France. A detachment of the 65th regiment lined the interior of the chapel. The service for the dead was read by the Rev. Mr. Lamson, after which an address appropriate to the occasion was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Sunder land, who, after touching on the early career and distinguished services of the deceased, referred to the events now in progress be yond the Atlantic, and declared that the United States Government was resolved to maintain the struggle to the last. M. Bigelow and M. Laboulaye also spoke, after which the crowd withdrew in silence. The body is to remain in the chapel until Saturday, when it will be conveyed to Havre on its way to the United States.

It a pp eared from the evidence that the prisoner had been married f or 25 years, and had by d i nt o f h ar d work and economy saved enough money to purchase a house and severel patches of land at Puy-la-Vallee. But of late years he and his wife had not lived happily together, and a few mouths si nce the prisoner left h ome an d en t ere d t h e service of a f armer at a neighbour i ng v ill age , l eav i ng hi s wife to culti vate their own land. On hi s d epar t ure h e car• tied away some of his wife's linen, which she in vain en , . treated him t o return. Irritate d b y hi s refusal to give up her things, his wife sent him a letter on the 4th September last, in which she threatened to give information to the police of a robbery in which he had been concerned some time pre viously. This threat rendered him furious, and, after brood. ing over it three or four days, he determined on vengeance. For this purpose he lift his master's house late in the night of the Bth, went home, forced an entrance into the house, and stabbed his wife as she lay in bed.' The poor woman started up and endeavoured to escape. at the same time im ploring him not t o murder her--but he nevertheless kept On stabbing h er f or a quarter o f an hour, till she died from loss of blood. The whole of this shocking scene had been witnessed by a littl e g i rl, 11 years of age, his wife's niece, who was so ter r ifi e d that she d urs t not move till daylight, when she inf o rm e d t h e ne i g hb our s of what had happened. The prisoner was immediately arrested. Ho did not attempt to deny the crime, but pretended that he bad been actuated by jealousy. It was proved, however, that his wife's con duct was irreproachable, and that the threat she had made was the only motive for tho murder. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but with extenuating circumstances, and the Court accordingly sentenced him to hard labour for life. —Galigilani, Royal Agricultural Society, THE ANNUAL MEETING.-THIS DAY. This afternoon the general meeting of the members of this society was held at their rooms in Hanover square—Sir E. Kerrison, Bart., M.P., in the chair. Mr. HALL DARE read the report, of which the following are the principal portions : The Council have to report that during the past half year the society has lost by deaths and resignations 35 of its members, while 478 new members have, during the same period, been enrolled on its lists, which is now con stituted as follows : —7B life governors) 80 annual do., 1,373 life members, 4,465 annual do., 17 honorary do. ; making a total of 6,013. The Council have elected Mr Wm. Burgess, of the firm of Burgess - and Key, to fill the vacancy caused by translation of Major-General the Hon. A. N. Hood to the list of vice-presidents of the society. The half-yearly statement of accounts to June 30, 1864, has been examined and approved by the auditors and accoun tants of the society. The finances were never in a more satisfactory condition than at present, the sum of £2,000 having been lately added to the funded capital of the society, which now amounts to £18,768 is 10d, stock in the New Three per Cents. The Council have appointed a com mittee to consider the subject of the "Improvement of the education of those who depend upon the cultivation of the soil for their support," and in order to obtain information on this important subject the Council have offered a prize of £5O for an essay on agricultural education, and they have authorised their educational committee to invite examining bodies such as the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the Royal College of Preceptors, the Society of Arts, &c., to appoint one of their members to confer with the committee. The meeting at Newcastle-upon-Tyne was highly success ful in the amount and character of the live stock and im plements. The means for testing the power given off by agricultural machinery having this year been perfected in a striking and satisfactory manner, by the consulting engi neer, Mr Amos (of the firm of Easton and Amos), wb.o in vented a dynamometer, a description of which will appear in their Journal. The Council deemed it right to appropri ate a largo amount of money to the trials of steam cultiva tors, and feel convinced that the members generally have every reason to be satisfied that this was a judicious appropri ation of the funds of the society, and a thorough test of the advance of this important branch of agricultural machinery. The general meeting of the society, held in the show-yard, conveyed to the Mayor and Corporation of Newcastle, and to the local committee who had so zealously co-operated with the council on the occasion, their cordial thanks for the kind attention they had paid to the wishes of the society, and the admirable manner in which they had made every arrangement required for promoting the success of the meeting, The society aro indebted to some railway com panies for the arrangements they have made at their annual show, but regret to say that in some instances facilities have not been afforded to exhibitors for the conveyance of stock at reasonable rate. The council have decided that the'Plymouth meeting shall be held in the week commencing Monday the 17th of July, and the Prize Sheets will shortly be ready for distribution. Land for the trial of drills, manure distribu tors, mowing, haymaking, and reaping machines, and horse-rakes, has been already placed under the necessary cultivation, and prizes amounting to £440 will be offered among these classes of Implements, and £2,815 for Stock. The Council have from time to time been favoured with various communications from Earl Russell, her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the substance of which have been made public in the published pro ceedings of the meetings at which they were read, Professor Simonds has delivered a lecture before the mem bers of the society on small pox in sheep, which will appear in the journal of the society. The governors of the Royal Veterinary College have presented their annual report, by which it appears that more animals have been admitted into the hospital of the college for treatment; also that there have been more consultations—and that other arrange. ments have been made tending to the further development of the veterinary art in respect to the pathology of cattle, sheep, and pigs. On the motion of Mr. MORTON the report was adopted, and officers for the ensuing year were elected. University Intelligence, OXFORD, Dec. 7. An election to a law scholarship on the foundation of Mr. Viner will take place next term. The examination of can didates will commence on Thursday, February 2, 1865. Candidates are required to deliver their names, together with a certificate of permission to offer themselves from the head of their respective colleges or halls, to the superior bedel of law on or before January 30. And such persons, and such only, who could have cffered themselves in the present term will be admissible as candidates next term. In the convocation to be holden on Tuesday, December 13, at two o'clock, it will be proposed that the university seal be affixed to powers of attorney for the sale of £6,000 Re• duced 3 per Cent. Annuities, such sale being rendered necessary on account of the late purchase of the Clarendon buildings. In the convocation to be holden on Tuesday next, the 13th inst., at two o'clock, it will be proposed that an offer made by the trustees appointed under the codicil of Lord Hyde's will, so far as such offer relates to a "Manager or academy for riding and other useful exercises in Oxford," be declined by the university. Members of convocation will observe, that if no such institution as the academy above-mentioned be accepted by the university, the funds may be applied to such other uses as the said trustees shall judge to be most for the honour and benefit of the univer sity, and most conducive to public utility. It is suggested that the interest of the fund might not inappropriately be applied to the maintenance of the parks as a place of recrea tion and exercise. Mrs Ellen Hope, widow of the Rev. Frederick William Hope, M.A. and D.C.L., late of Christ Church, the muni ficent founder of the Hope professorship of zoology, and donor of a large collection of engravings, having offered to increase the foundation by a further gift of £1,666 13s 4d, New 3 per Cent. Annuities for the purpose of augmenting the present salary of the keeper of the Hope collection of engravings, for ever, with an especial view to enable him to defray the salary ct an assistant, and other necessary expenses which he may incur in procuring additions to the said collection of engravings—in a convocation to be holden on Tuesday, the 13th inst., at 2 o'clock, it will be proposed that the university zeal be affixed to a deed for the accept ance of the aforesaid gift for the purposes stated therein and in the same convocation it will be proposed that the university seal be affixed to a letter of thanks to Mrs Hope for her munificence. CAMBRIDGE, Dec. 7. TYRWHITT'S HEBREW SCHOLARSHIPS. The Board of Oriental studies at a meeting held at Queen's Lodge on Wednesday, Nov. 30, 1864, proposed the follow ing changes with regard to the Tyrwhitt's Hebrew scholar ships, and have submitted the same to the consideration of the senate :-1. That a candidate who obtains a scholar ship of the second class in any year shall be allowed to compete for a scholarship of the first class in the year fol lowing, provided ho is not disqualified by regulation 2, passed by decree of the senate, April 29, 1836. 2. That, in the event of his obtaining a scholarship of the first class at his second time of ,trial, he shall vacate his scholarship of the second class already obtained, and shall hold the scholarship of the first class for two years, the remainder of the time for which the scholarships are tenable, 3. That, in the event of his failing to obtain a scholarship of the first class at the second time of trial, he shall not be required to vacate the scholarship of,the second class which he has already obtained. 4. That the time of examination shall be altered from the second Wednesday in May to the first Wednesday in June. 5. That these proposed changes shall be immediately put into operation. The vice-chancellor has invited the attendance of the members of the senate, in the Arts' School, on Saturday, Dee.. 10, at two o'clock, for the discussion of the above re port. FIRE IN HATTON-GARDEN.—Last night a fire broke out in Hatton-garden. The premises in which the disaster commenced were in tho occupation of Mr Baker, a cabinetmaker, and Mr Palmer's (builder) workshops were at the rear and adjoining. The flames spread with unusual rapidity, and in the course of eight or ten minutes the building was wholly in flames, which were not quite extin guished at 1 o'clock this morning. The property was insured, MR SPURGEON AND THE GLASGOW POLICEMAN. —A rather good story, for the authenticity of which we can vouch, is just going the rounds of the city, As our readers are aware, a great many persons obtained admission to the lecture delivered by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon (or rather " Mr" Spurgeon) in the City Hall last Tuesday evening, by presenting forged tickets. In consequence of this unprincipled and dishonest conduct, large numbers who had provided themselves with bona fife tickets were unable to gain admission; it having been necessary to close the doors before 8 o'clock, the hour at which the proceed ings were advertised to commence, Amongst the "latest snivels" at the South Albion-street entrance to the hall were Mr Spurgeon himself and Dr Joshua Paterson, who, on demanding admittance, were informed by a tall Highland policeman stationed at the door that the hall was already crammed to suffocation, and no one would be allowed to put his foot within the threshold. " But we must get in," said Mr Spurgeon, attempting to pass. " I don't sea that," re plied the constable, barring the door with his burly frame. "But wo must get in," reiterated Mr Spurgeon ; " my friend here is Dr, Paterson, who is to act as chairman to night; and,' struck in the doctor, " this gentleman is the Rev. Mr Spurgbon, who is to lecture ; so you sec if won't do to keep us out." The policeman shrugged his shoulders, and regarding the applicants with a knowing look, said, " Do you really think I'm so jolly green —move on." Fortunately at this juncture a member of the Protes tant Laymen's Association, who had been on the look out for Mr Spurgeon, came to the rescue, and having explained matters to the constable's satisfaction, that astonished func tionary stepped aside, and with a polite salute permitted the famous London divine and the learned doctor to pass on,- 1 Cqasgow Citizen, The Late American Minister at the French Court, The Debats of yesterday speaks in the following terms of the late Mr Dayton—" We are able to speak of the diplomatic services of Mr Dayton, for the Congress recently caused the diplomatic corre spondence of the United States in 1863 to be pub lished, and the letters of Mr Dayton occupy a con spicuous place there. In a delicate position, the representative of a country torn by civil war, and often impeded by skilful adversaries, we find Mr Dayton acting with a prudence and measure that cannot be too highly praised. It must be admitted too that he found in M. Drouyn de Lhuys a Minister of Foreign Affairs who had not forgotten the old tradition of friendship between France and the United States, and that the greatest difficul ties are easily settled when there is on both sides pefect candour, and a sincere desire to mutually avoid everything that can envenom excellent and old-established relations. But we shall be contra dicted by no one when we affirm that the upright conduct and frankness of Mr. Dayton contributed to a great extent to the cordiality which has pre- vailed between the two countries. To have faith fully fulfilled our duty is the sole eulogy which cannot be out of place at the grave. And this duty was that of defending liberty and humanity in the Senate and abroad the unity of the country, torn by civil war. Mr. Dayton always rose to the level of this noble task, and thus it is he will leave long lived regrets not only among the friends who knew his excellent and amiable qualities, but among all those who have been able to appreciate the orator, the diplomatist, and the patriot." The' Constitutionnel in like manner say's—" Mr. Dayton, prematurely removed from the esteem of all who knew him, carries away universal regret. As we have already said, the honourable diploma.. tist was one of the inheritors of the wise and noble traditions bequeathed to their country and to his tory by the founders and the chief statesmen of the American republic. He belonged to the school of Washington and Franklin, A minister in France while his country was passing through the most terrible crisis, and amid delicate circumstances, Mr. Dayton avoided, by the courtesy of his manners, the prudence of his language, and the moderation of his mind, many complications and embarrass ments. The United States lose in Mr Dayton an eminent citizen, and to-morrow we shall accompany with respect the coffin of the wise politician and the honest man." Royal Dramatic College Ball. This annual entertainment took place last evening at St, James's Hall, and, as everybody knows, was for the benefit of the "poor player" who, having spent the best years of his life in the service of the public, may find it necessary in after-life, through the ill distribution of Fortune's favours, to seek an asylum where his last days may be passed in peaceful quiet, and free from those cares which sometimes unfortunately accompany cal age. The ball was well attended, not only by the members of the theatrical profes sion proper, but by that extensive and valuable section of the public generally known as " patrons of the drama"—a result of the efforts of the stewards and the ball committee which must be most gratifying to them, and well they de serve such a reward for their indefatigable labours in the cause they had at heart. The large hall in which the ball was held was completely filled by midnight, and from its great size afforded ample room and verge enough for the dancers, who, under the care of their efficient master of the cermonies, Mr J. Seaton, passed a few hours most pleasantly. The band (Coote and Tinney's) was well chosen, full and complete, and, under the guidance of Mr Charles Coote, kept the dancers merrily engaged till about one o'clock, when the visitors were ushered to the lower hall, where an excellent champagne supper awaited them. At the close of the supper Mr Benjamin Webster, the respected Master of the College, proposed the healths of the Queen and the Prince of Wales, the honoured patrons of the College; and afterwards, with, especial emphasis, asked the assembly to fill glasses to a toast which he had nearest to his heart, " Prosperity to the Royal Dramatic College." This toast, as well as these that preceded it, was drunk with much enthusiasm, and shortly afterwards the dancing was resumed and cintinued with unabated ardour in face of the regulation promulgated by the com mittee that tha ball should close at four o'clock. In the second part of the programme, a quadrille, "The Dramatic College," composed expressly for the occasion by Mr A Mellon, afforded much delight to the dancers and to all who heard it. WRECK OF THE DALHOUSIE—RECOVERY OP FIVE BODIES.—On Monday and Tuesday the diver in the employment of the North British Railway Company at Tayport went d awn again to the wreck of the steamship Dalhousie, with the view of recovering the bodes of the passengers, On Monday he succeded in obtaining an entrance into the saloon of the vessel, and he also searched several of the state rooms, including that of Capt. Ulenny. They bore very little traces of having been in any way dis turbed. He sent up a number of cushions and other articles which were found floating about, but no bodies were to be seen. He then proceeded to the fore cabin, but the entrance to it was so much blocked up with cargo that all his efforts were unsuccessful to enable him to gain admission. On Tuesday the Rob Roy went down with the diver. lie suc ceeded, after great difficulty, in penetrating to the main cabin, which had not been reached on Monday, through the skylight. He immediately came up and said there were bodies lying there, and at his request slings were let down. After a short time the body of a woman, supposed to be that of Mrs Cleveland, was sent up. The corpse was dressed in a black silk gown, below which was a quilted silk petticoat. She had on a gold wedding ring. T his woman was lying across the stove, with her legs jammed in the knee of the pipe. A boy about 12 years of age was tightly clasped in her arms. The boy was next sent up. He seemed to have been a good-looking lad, and was dressed in a black cloth jacket and vest rnd blue trousers. The body of another woman was found hanging from the roof of the cabin. Her hands had penetrated to the wrists through an opening which had been by some means made in the deck. From the appear ance of the body it seemed as if she had made a desperate struggle for life. Two children (girls) were next sent up— one seemed to be about five years of age, the other an in fant. They were found lying on the sofa. No traces of any other bodies were found. The div - T then went into the fore cabin, but no bodies were to be seen there. The deck on the -starboard side above the fore cabin had, however, been washed away, and it was supposed the bodies had floated away, if any had- been there. The bodies were taken to Tayport, and laid out in a warehouse there. One of the bodies is thought to be that of Mrs Copperthwaite, but the features were so much altered that it was difficult to iden tify. A thorough search of the vessel is to be made to-day, —Ecotsman. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE IN GLASGOW— THREE CHILDREN SUFFOCATED.—On Saturday afternoon, an occurrence of a very painful nature took place within the house of John 11.1eRory, at No. 9 New-street, Calton, Glasgow, whereby two of his children, Edward and Mary 111 1 Itory, aged five and three years respectively, and a little boy three years of age, named Edward Carlton, cousin to the ether two, died from suffocation. The information we have gleaned regarding the matter is as follows :—lt appears that on Saturday John 111‘Itory was from home at his ordi nary work, and his wife was absent, and the house was left in charge of one of their daughters, a girl of some 12 or 13 years of age. Shortly after four o'clock this girl quitted the house, leaving the three children inside; and about 20 minutes after some of the neighbours were alarmed by a strong smell as of something burning proceeding from the house. The worst apprehensions filled their minds, and it was resolved to force the door. This was accordingly done; and on the house being entered, the kitchen was found full of a dense stifling smoke. It was not at th s time known that there were any children inside; and as the smoke issued from a large wall press in which clothes and some other articles were kept, the efforts of the neighbours were at first directed to pulling down the shelves of the press and arresting the only apparent mischief. Meanwhile a messenger was despatched to the Eastern Police-office with information of the occurrence, and shortly afterwards a policeman and two firemen made their appearance. On the room adjoining the kitchen being entered, the children were found lying dead or dying from the effects of the smoke—two of them on one bed and the third on another. They were immediately removed, Two of them were car ried to the shop of Dr Young, Great Hamilton-street, but on arriving there it was found that they were beyond medi cal skill. The other child was conveyed to a house in the neighbourhood, and Dr Young, the district surgeon, was immediately after in attendance, only to find, however, that the little sufferer had passed away. As might bo expected, the occurrence created the greatest excitement in the dis tricts, and numerous speculations wore hazarded as to the manner of the children's death. The cause was painfully evident. From the short time during which the girl was absent before the house was entered, it seems unlikely that the children had gone to bed and fallen asleep. The proba bility is that, on seeing the smoke issuing from the press, they hurried to the room as to a place of fancied security, the door of which they left open, thus giving unopposed ingress to the smoke, without seeking to make their situa tion known, for no cries were heard by the neighbours eit her before or after the house was entered. The press was used as a kind of wardrobe, clothes bring suspended at the back of the door, and it would also seem to have formed a recep tacle for wood shavings and articles of a miscellaneous de scription, but how these became ignited is yet unexplained. The window panes and furniture in the kitchen wet e black ened with smoke, the plaster of the roof was blistered and broken, as if subjected to a strong heat, and the wood at the tep of the press appeased charred, as if it had been on the point of bursting into a vigorous haste when arrested. The matter has been reported to the Procurators-Fiscal,— a(asgow Ifcrala. e riY A '? ' T rt ktirjOre HER MAJESTY.
